Im Pumpenraum 11 ist koaxial zur Pumpenachse 22 ein Pumpenoder Laufrad 24 angeordnet. Das Laufrad 24 sitzt einerseits auf einem Lagerzapfen 25, der an der Seitenwand 12 koaxial in den Pumpenraum 11 hinein vorsteht und andererseits drehfest auf einer Abtriebswelle 26 des Elektromotors, die in einer zur Pumpenachse 22 koaxialen Lagerbuchse 27 gelagert ist. Die Lagerbuchse 27 ist in einer die Seitenwand 13 durchstoßenden koaxialen Bohrung 28 im Zwischengehäuse 15 eingepreßt. Das Laufrad 24 (Fig. 7) besitzt eine Vielzahl von in Umfangsrichtung voneinander beabstandeten Laufradschaufeln 29, die an ihrem von der Pumpenachse 22 abgekehrten Ende durch einen kreisförmigen Außenring 30 miteinander verbunden sind. Die Laufradschaufeln 29 begrenzen zwischen sich jeweils eine Schaufelkammer 31, die in Achsrichtung offen ist. Die Laufradschaufeln 29 und der Außenring 30 sind einstückig mit dem Laufrad 24, und die Laufradschaufeln 29 sind dadurch gebildet, daß zwischen auf einem gemeinsamen Verteilerkreis angeordneten Durchbrüchen im Laufrad 24 Stege als Laufradschaufeln 29 verbleiben. Der Außenring 30 ist so bemessen, daß zwischen der umlaufenden Außenfläche 301 des Außenrings 30 und der Peripherwand 14 ein Radialspalt 32 verbleibt (Fig. 1). Im Betrieb saugt die Strömungspumpe Kraftstoff durch den Ansaugstutzen 19 an und drückt den Kraftstoff über den Pumpenausgang 17 in das Innere des Pumpengehäuses 10 und von dort aus über den Druckstutzen 18 zur Brennkraftmaschine. In the pump chamber 11 is a pump or coaxial to the pump axis 22 Impeller 24 arranged. The impeller 24 sits on the one hand on a bearing journal 25, which is coaxial on the side wall 12 protrudes into the pump chamber 11 and on the other hand rotatably on an output shaft 26 of the electric motor, the in a bearing bushing 27 coaxial to the pump axis 22 is stored. The bearing bush 27 is in a Sidewall 13 penetrating coaxial bore 28 in Pressed intermediate housing 15. The impeller 24 (Fig. 7) has a plurality of circumferentially from each other spaced impeller blades 29 at their from the Pump axis 22 opposite end by a circular Outer ring 30 are interconnected. The Impeller blades 29 each limit one between them Vane chamber 31, which is open in the axial direction. The Impeller blades 29 and the outer ring 30 are in one piece with the impeller 24, and the impeller blades 29 formed in that between on a common Distribution circuit arranged openings in the impeller 24 Web remain as impeller blades 29. The outer ring 30 is dimensioned so that between the circumferential outer surface 301 of the outer ring 30 and the peripheral wall 14 Radial gap 32 remains (Fig. 1). Sucks in operation Flow pump fuel through the intake 19 and presses the fuel through the pump outlet 17 into the Inside of the pump housing 10 and from there on Pressure port 18 to the internal combustion engine.

Um die lokal sehr hohen Druckamplituden der Schaufelfrequenzschwingung deutlich zu reduzieren und damit die Strömungspumpe wesentlich geräuschärmer zu machen, ist in den den Seitenkanal 20 in der Seitenwand 12 am Ansaugoder Gehäusedeckel 16 eine zum Pumpenraum 11 hin offene, gekrümmte Dämpfungsnut 36 eingebracht (Fig. 5), die sich etwa über die Seitenkanalbreite erstreckt. Das in Fig. 5 mit 202 gekennzeichnete Seitenkanalende des Seitenkanals 20 hat eine etwa S-förmige gekrümmte Kontur, wobei der mittlere Teil der Kontur auf der Mittellinie 37 des Seitenkanals 20 oder parallel dazu liegt. Die Dämpfungsnut 36 ist nunmehr derart an der Kontur des Seitenkanalendes 202 entlanggeführt, daß das in Umfangsrichtung gemessene Abstandsmaß s zwischen der Mittellinie 38 der Dämpfungsnut 36 und der Kontur des Seitenkanalendes 202 an jedem Punkt der Mittellinie 38 konstant ist. Das Abstandsmaß s wird dabei ein- bis dreimal so groß bemessen wie die in Umfangsrichtung des Laufrads 24 gesehene Dicke δ der Laufradschaufeln 29. Die Form der Dämpfungsnut 36 ist dabei so ausgeführt, daß die äußere und innere kreisbogenförmige Begrenzungslinie der Dämpfungsnut 36 und die Mittellinie 38 der Dämpfungsnut 36 den gleichen Krümmungsmittelpunkt aufweisen.To the locally very high pressure amplitudes of the To reduce blade frequency vibration significantly and thus to make the flow pump much quieter in the side channel 20 in the side wall 12 on the intake or Housing cover 16 an open to the pump chamber 11, curved damping groove 36 introduced (Fig. 5), the extends approximately across the side channel width. That in Fig. 5 side channel end of the side channel 20 identified by 202 has an approximately S-shaped curved contour, the middle part of the contour on the center line 37 of the Side channel 20 or parallel to it. The damping groove 36 is now such at the contour of the side channel end 202 along that the measured in the circumferential direction Distance dimension s between the center line 38 of the damping groove 36 and the contour of the side channel end 202 at each point the center line 38 is constant. The distance measure s is one to three times as large as that in Circumferential direction of the impeller 24 seen thickness δ the Impeller blades 29. The shape of the damping groove 36 is there executed so that the outer and inner circular arc Boundary line of the damping groove 36 and the center line 38 the damping groove 36 the same center of curvature exhibit.

Wie aus der Schnittdarstellung in Fig. 6 hervorgeht, weist die Dämpfungsnut 36 einen halbkreisförmigen Querschnitt auf, wobei die maximale Nuttiefe t im Bereich von 0,1 - 1,5mm, vorzugsweise zwischen 0,2 mm und 0,5 mm, liegt. Die maximale Nutbreite b beträgt das Ein- bis Dreifache der in Umfangsrichtung gesehenen Dicke δ der Laufradschaufeln 29 des Laufrads 24.As can be seen from the sectional view in FIG. 6, points the damping groove 36 has a semicircular cross section with the maximum groove depth t in the range of 0.1 - 1.5 mm, preferably between 0.2 mm and 0.5 mm. The maximum groove width b is one to three times that in Thickness δ of the impeller blades 29 seen in the circumferential direction the impeller 24.

Wie in Fig. 3 dargestellt ist, kann zusätzlich zu der Dämpfungsnut 36 in der Seitenwand 12 des Gehäusedeckels 16 eine gleichartig ausgebildete Dämpfungsnut 39 in die Seitenwand 13 des Zwischengehäuses 15 eingebracht werden, auch hier wiederum im Unterbrechersteg 23 nahe dem Seitenkanalende 212 des Seitenkanals 21. Wie bereits erwähnt, mündet hier der Pumpenausgang 17. Die Dämpfungsnut 39 ist identisch der Dämpfungsnut 36 ausgebildet, so daß die dort genannten Bemessungsangaben auch hier zutreffen.As shown in Fig. 3, in addition to that Damping groove 36 in the side wall 12 of the housing cover 16 a similarly designed damping groove 39 in the Side wall 13 of the intermediate housing 15 are introduced, here again in the interrupter 23 near the Side channel end 212 of the side channel 21. As already mentioned, the pump outlet 17 opens here. The damping groove 39 is identical to the damping groove 36, so that the design information given there also apply here.

In einer alternativen Ausführung der Strömungspumpe kann die Dämpfungsnut 36 in der Seitenwand 12 des Gehäusedeckels 16 entfallen, so daß nur - wie vorstehend beschrieben - die Dämpfugsnut 36 in der Seitenwand 13 des Zwischengehäuses 15 vorhanden ist.In an alternative embodiment, the flow pump can the damping groove 36 in the side wall 12 of the housing cover 16 omitted, so that only - as described above - the Damping groove 36 in the side wall 13 of the intermediate housing 15 is available.

Die Erfindung ist nicht auf die beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiele beschränkt. So kann die Strömungspumpe auch einflutig ausgeführt werden, so daß nur in einer Seitenwand ein Seitenkanal vorhanden ist, dessen Seitenkanalanfang mit dem Pumpeneingang und dessen Seitenkanalende mit dem Pumpenausgang in Verbindung steht. Der Seitenkanal kann dabei im Zwischengehäuse oder im Gehäusedeckel ausgebildet werden.The invention is not based on those described Embodiments limited. So the flow pump can also be executed with one flow, so that only in one Sidewall there is a side channel, the Side channel start with the pump inlet and its Side channel end is connected to the pump outlet. The side channel can be in the intermediate housing or in Housing cover are formed.
